    1. Re: [DONEGALEIRE] Fwd Revision - Cancellation Books
    2. Bob, If you send for one, it is even more difficult to see the colours on a black and white LDS film! However, after a while using them, it becomes surprisingly easy to identify the handwriting and the width of pen strokes, so that you can quite easily tell which revision, which usually indicates a change of tenancy (one name scored out, another written above), is associated with which date in the right hand margin of the book. Thank goodness they did not have computers back then or the revisions would have disappeared under the "delete" button!

Normally each year that a revision is insert is in a different colour. It is a bit difficult to see the colours in the images on the website.
